Cambridge Redevelopment Authority

The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA) undertakes urban redevelopment projects and other activities provided for in the enabling legislation. In recent years the CRA has focused its attention on the Kendall Square area. While the CRA works with the Community Development Department on occasion, the Authority is not staffed by CDD and is not under the Department's jurisdiction.
